Since I am on the topic of this year's tough bite, I think the crazy increase in the Covid related canoe/kayak pressure (compounded with the drought) really impacted fish behavior this year. Obviously, I have no scientific data to back up my statement just a continual 9-month observation. I think many of the non-esox fish moved to deeper water after continually being harassed by all the water traffic.

I do know 1 thing for certain.....It was a very abnormal year.
